Confederate General Wade Hampton Memorial

The Confederate General Wade Hampton Memorial is a memorial to the Confederate States Army general Wade Hampton III located on 17020 South Crater Road in Petersburg, Virginia. Hampton had fought in the 1864-5 Siege of Petersburg during the American Civil War, and the memorial was established not far from the battle sites of the campaign. On 15 February 2016, the controversial "Virginia Flaggers" raised Confederate flags at the memorial as a tribute to the late general and US Senator.
